Hypnotherapy and Private Health Insurance

Many of our clients are able to claim on receipts for our hypnotherapy services. We provide you with as much information as we can in order for you to claim through your health fund. This information is provided on the receipt we give you. Your insurer may also contact us for more information, in which case we will give them relevant details about your therapist, but never personal information about you.  

We do not deal with health funds directly. Any claim you make must be made through your fund.  

We will always direct you to your health fund to find out if you can claim – there are many variations in cover, and their requirements change all the time. It is not information that we have provided to us. We will never tell you that you can definitely claim, because we do not know this to be true.  

Our therapists’ recognition as a Provider with any health fund is generally granted through their Clinical Membership of a professional governing body – in our case, The Australian Hypnotherapists’Association (AHA), or the Professional Clinical Hypnotherapists' Assoc (PCHA).

While many funds are happy to provide benefits to their members for hypnotherapy services, a number of insurers will not cover the fee of a hypnotherapist who is not also a Registered Psychologist. 

Our expertise is Clinical Hypnotherapy, and we are not psychologists. We are not seeking to represent ourselves as competition for psychologists, nor are we seeking to be identified with psychologists. The professions are different in their application and approach.

As there are so many funds these days, not all insurers will have registration of your therapists’ details. Many smaller funds will use the AHA or PCHA number we provide you with or the Medibank Private APN on your receipt.
